Description
Effective Date
Effect on our financial statements and other significant matters
ASU 2017-09 Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718)
This amendment clarifies when a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award must be accounted for as a modification. The new guidance requires modification accounting if the fair value, vesting condition or the classification of the award is not the same immediately before and after a change to the terms and conditions of the award. The amendment should be adopted on a prospective basis.
October 1, 2018 with early adoption permitted.
We do not expect the adoption of these provisions to have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated condensed financial statements as it is not our practice to change either the terms or conditions of share-based payment awards once they are granted.
ASU 2017-07 Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost
This amendment requires the presentation of the service cost component of net benefit cost to be in the same line item as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. All other components of net benefit cost should be presented separately from the service cost component and outside of a subtotal of earnings from operations, or separately disclosed. The amendments should be adopted on a retrospective basis.
Second quarter of fiscal year ending October 31, 2018.
We do not expect the adoption of these provisions to have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated statement of financial position or financial statement disclosures.
ASU 2017-04 Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment
This amendment eliminates the need to determine the fair value of individual assets and liabilities of a reporting unit to measure a goodwill impairment. Goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit's carrying value exceeds its fair value. The amendment should be applied on a prospective basis.
First quarter of fiscal year ending October 31, 2021
We have early adopted these provisions and any impact will be reflected in the Company's consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
The amendments require companies to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. The amendments should be applied on either a full or modified retrospective basis, which clarifies existing accounting literature relating to how and when a company recognizes revenue. The FASB, through the issuance of ASU No. 2015-14, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers," approved a one year delay of the effective date and permits two implementation approaches, one requiring retrospective application of the new standard with restatement of prior years and one requiring prospective application of the new standard with disclosure of results under old standards. During fiscal 2016, the FASB issued ASUs 2016-10, 2016-11 and 2016-12. Finally, ASU 2016-20 makes minor corrections or minor improvements to the Codification that are not expected to have a significant effect on current accounting practice or create a significant administrative cost to most entities.
First quarter of fiscal year ending October 31, 2019
We are planning a bottom up approach to analyze the standard's impact on its revenues by looking at historical policies and practices and identifying the differences from applying the new standard to our revenue stream. The Company has not selected a transition date or method nor have we determined the effect of the standard to our consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2014-15 Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
This amendment's intent is to define the Company's responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an organization's ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures.
First quarter of fiscal year ending October 31, 2018
We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of these provisions will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2016-02 Leases
This amendment requires lessees to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset on the balance sheet and aligns many of the underlying principles of the new lessor model with those in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The standard requires a modified retrospective transition for capital and operating leases existing at or entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, but it does not require transition accounting for leases that expire prior to the date of initial adoption.
First quarter of fiscal year ending October 31, 2020 with early adoption permitted.
We are currently evaluating the requirements of ASU 2016-02 and have not yet determined its impact on the Company's consolidated condensed financial statements.
ASU 2016-01 Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
This amendment addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments. Most prominent among the amendments is the requirement for changes in the fair value of the Company's equity investments, with certain exceptions, to be recognized through net income rather than other comprehensive income ("OCI"). The amendments should be applied by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet in year of adoption.
First quarter of fiscal year ending October 31, 2019 with early adoption permitted.
We do not expect the adoption of these provisions to have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated statement of financial position or financial statement disclosures.
ASU 2015-11 Inventory
This amendment simplifies the measurement of inventory by requiring inventory to be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The amendment should be applied on a prospective basis.
First quarter of fiscal year ending October 31, 2018.
We do not expect the adoption of these provisions to have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated statement of financial position or financial statement disclosures.
